SAFE LIMITS OF OPERATION
Polk Audio specifies the recommended
amplification range for each of its passive
(non-amplified) loudspeakers. Typically that
specification will be expressed as a range of
power such as 20-200 Watts (per channel).
It is important to understand what those
numbers mean when choosing a receiver or
amplifier for your Polk Audio loudspeakers.
The lower number indicates the lowest
continuous rated power that will yield
acceptable performance in a typical listening
environment. The higher number indicates
the highest per channel power that should
be used with your Polk Audio speakers.
That number should not be confused with
a "Power Handling" specification and it
does not imply that the speaker will safely
handle that full amount of power on a
long-term basis. We specify a wide range
of power ratings because not all electronics
manufacturers use the same method for
rating power. In fact, high quality lower-rated
amplifiers sound better and play louder than
low quality units with higher power rating.
Automobile horsepower is a good analogy.
Your car probably has far more horsepower
than it needs for your daily commute and is
likely capable of going well over 120mph
(190km/hr). Having that extra power is
good for on-ramp acceleration and danger
avoidance (like getting away from brain-
eating zombies) but that doesn't mean
that it is advisable to operate your car on
North American highways at full power and
maximum speed for an extended period
of time. Just ask your local state trooper if
you are in doubt. Similarly, we recommend
using amplifiers and receivers with rated
power above the power handling limits of
our speakers because having extra power
available for short term peaks is conducive
to better sound quality, maximum dynamic
range and effortless high volume output.
But we strongly urge you not to use the full
power of your amplifier or receiver for daily
listening.
Loudspeakers can be damaged when an
amplifier, regardless of its wattage, is made
to play at higher listening levels than its
power can clearly produce. Operation at
Customer Service Hours of Operation: Monday-Friday 9AM-6PM EST
this level can result in very high levels of
audible distortion originating in the amplifier,
which can add a harsh, gritty sound to your
listening material. If you hear distortion —
turn the volume down or risk damaging your
speakers. You can damage just about any
speaker, regardless of power rating, if you
drive an amplifier to or beyond the point
of distortion.
